So glad we have someone like Amanda Askell working on the future of AI. Excellent @lexfridman.bsky.social podcast including her and others from Anthropic!

Got and framed my excellent prints from @helveticablanc.bsky.social Excited to put them up! ๐Ÿคฉ

Just donated to the Good Food Institute! They seem to be doing cool things and seem legit based on my research: gfi.org I'm certain we're going to look back in 50 years and be apalled at how we used to raise animals just to kill them for meat (Not a vegetarian, but still think eating meat is weird)

So I started Balatro and I think I get it

The Clever Endeavour team attended GAMERella Game Jam! CEO @richmakesgames.bsky.social made a non-Chicken Horse game, and Programmer Austin was a mentor for all the gamejammers. Thanks for having us, and good job to everyone that participated!

Leadership styles and how to put them into practice โ€” new notes from leadership roundtables are up! richardatlas.com/2024/12/14/l... See I don't only post random food things. #gamedev #leadership

Pickled onions make everything infinitely better ๐Ÿคค and make me want to take pictures of my food

Y'all what should I play?? PC, controller game, single player, indie-ish that won't take 2000h to finish. Or do I just try Balatro finally

I know it's extremely not topical but this soundtrack is just excellent ๐Ÿ’› open.spotify.com/album/1XdgIQ...

Been trying to figure out how to make more time for game dev in my schedule, so I'm tracking my time hella closely. This was announcement week so it's a bit odd, but it's really helping me understand what the heck I do. Lesson 1: I have way too many small chunks and not enough big chunks of time.

I made a pack for Montreal Game Studios: go.bsky.app/EDJw8P1 Let me know who I missed! ๐Ÿ˜„

โœจ OUR NEW GAME IS ANNOUNCED ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฆ please wishlist and tell your friends!! store.steampowered.com/app/2923350/...

Tune in to the @dayofthedevs.org showcase TODAY AT NOON (ET) to see something new from Clever Endeavour Games ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Twitch.tv/thegameawards ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป @clevendeavgames.bsky.social

Always a quality show!

Had a lovely time a few weeks back at the Gamerella game jam! Here's the thing I made (controller only, didn't have time to fix the keyboard/mouse controls): richmakesgames.itch.io/sick-ass-game First solo jam with lots of coding help from ChatGPT ๐Ÿค“

In case you don't care about GameDev, I also have dope salad recommendations. This one's arugula, barley, roasted beets, pomegranate seeds, shredded carrots, a ton of mint, tofu and zaatar toasted sunflower seeds + a lemon tahini dressing ๐Ÿƒ

So cool to see professional women's hockey games getting sold out in Montreal! Vibe was ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Our studio, Clever Endeavour, is also on bsky! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

Interesting lil thread... says the man on a team of 5 (plus two contractors plus external audio so maybe I'm cheating ๐Ÿซฃ)

So I'm trying a thing, it's like a matcha allongรฉ but I don't really know what an allongรฉ is so it's matcha with like half oat milk and some stevia and we're gonna see what happens

Does anyone know if there's a Montreal game devs starter pack and/or how to find it?

Found this pitch structure from Jason Della Rocca while reviewing my notes from MIGS 2024โ€”even though funding is hard these days I think this is still a great format! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8HS...

Just ordered some prints from this wonderful artist! Thanks Bluesky algorithm for showing this to me ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿ™€

Didn't know I liked canned fish. Thanks Lisbon!
